Parenting

  "To you who are parents, I say, show love to your children. You know you love them but make certain they know it as well. They are so precious. Let them know. Call upon Heavenly Father for help as you care for their needs each day as you deal with challenges that inevitably come with parenthood. You need more than your wisdom in rearing them." -President Thomas S. Monson There are several ways in which parents can, and do, respond to challenging situations with their children. How can we determine the best ways in which to approach parenting challenges and opportunities? Michael Popkins an author wrote a book called active parenting. In this book, parents learn how to be active in their children’s lives. Instead of reacting to what a child does maybe, we should be looking all along what might be the child's needs. The purposes of parenting are to protect and prepare a child to survive and thrive in the world they are going to live in. We should not focus on how to...

Fathers and Work

  Ephesians 4:29 “Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.” Ephesians 4:26 “Be ye angry, and sin not: do not let the sun go down upon your wrath.” Ephesians 6:12 “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood but against rulers of the darkness of this world.” I mentioned these above three verses regarding the topic we discussed last week about communication.

Stress, How we can cope with it

Stress is important for the body, the bones dissolve and rebuild because of stress. Some levels of stress can be healthy, too much of it is not good either. Healthy stress helps you to remember things and achieve things because your brain is more focused when under stress. When we are children, we love learning and like to discover new things but when we start junior high, we start to avoid learning. We start to want to do things as easily as we possibly can. Because learning is hard and takes effort, we start to shun it. We tend to think to avoid learning or doing hard things because it brings about stress. When you learn you are growing and because of that you start feeling good. It is in our natural self to desire to grow and when we achieve that growth, we become happy. A study has shown that the learning curve of a human being flattens from ages 18-35. We stop learning because we are trying to avoid any kind of stress because we think being stressed is bad. In my life, I have real...
